On my phone a simple test is to just try to get packets out over wifi.
Since the high packetloss makes getting a DHCP conversation trough very
hard i recommend setting a static ip.

Set the AP as an open system and try to ping it. Also try to ping the FR
from another computer on the same wired network as the AP. The packetloss
is very high, sometimes 100%.
The thing that strikes me as rather strange is this output from ifconfig
after trying to unsuccessfully ping my AP:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:12:CF:8E:FC:12

The packets are registered but somewhere sent to the bitbucket.
